Manager: Padres SP Tyson Ross (thigh) fine for next start

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

Pat Murphy has announced via U-T San Diego that a thigh issue that plagued Padres starter Tyson Ross late in his Wednesday win will not prevent him from making his next start, which is scheduled for Monday at Milwaukee.

Ross took a comebacker to the thigh, which caused it to stiffen up. His early removal from the game was merely a precaution.

Padres starter Tyson Ross picked up his seventh win of the season in Wednesday's 7-3 victory over the Mets. Ross allowed one run on two hits over five innings. He issued four walks and struck out five, throwing 47 of his 83 pitches for strikes.

The only run Ross gave up was a solo home run by Lucas Duda, snapping a streak of 100 innings without issuing a longball for Ross. But he was lifted after five innings with the Padres already ahead by five runs.

Interim manager Pat Murphy said Ross' thigh stiffened up after taking a comebacker, but he could have pitched longer if necessary, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Padres right-hander Tyson Ross had mixed results in his start against the Marlins on Thursday. Ross allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits (all singles) over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter, throwing 65 of his 98 pitches for strikes.

He was saddled with his eighth loss of the season however, as the Padres bats were unable to solve Tom Koehler and the Marlins pitching in the 4-0 loss..

Ross (6-8, 3.45 ERA) held the Marlins scoreless over the first five innings. He was able to retire the first batters in the sixth before things fell apart. But he gave up singles to the next five batters he faced before finally being pulled from the game.

It was generally a solid night for Ross, despite the one bad inning. He has a 3.00 ERA over five starts this month.
